AI-powered SSOW software for high-risk tasks. Step-by-step procedures, competency requirements, and equipment checklists — generated from your existing RAMS and linked to your full document pack.
Built with UK health & safety regulations in mind
A Safe System of Work (SSoW) is a formal documented procedure for carrying out a task that carries significant risk. Under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, employers must provide safe systems of work for all high-risk activities — working at height, confined space entry, electrical isolation, hot works, and more.
Generated from your RAMS. Linked to your document pack. Ready in minutes.
swiftRMS generates a complete, task-specific SSOW from your RAMS scope — isolation steps, working sequence, emergency actions, and reinstatement. Nothing generic.
No starting from scratch. Open a completed RAMS and generate its SSOW in one click. AI extracts the task, hazards, and controls to build a coherent procedure.
Every SSOW lists the qualifications, licences, and training the operatives must hold. IPAF, PASMA, first aid, inductions — built in by default.
A thorough SSOW for a high-risk task takes a competent person 2+ hours to write properly. swiftRMS does it in 3 minutes, at the same standard.
AI generates pre-task equipment checks relevant to the work — harnesses, anchors, LEV, rescue equipment. Operatives tick them off before starting.
Professional SSOW documents with your organisation logo, assessor name, and version history. Print-ready for site packs or digital sign-off.
Roof access, scaffold erection, MEWP operations, fragile roof work. SSoW that covers fall prevention, rescue plans, and competency requirements for every operative.
Permit-to-work backed SSoW for manholes, tanks, culverts, and service ducts. Atmospheric testing, rescue procedure, communications, and standby person requirements.
Lock-off and tag-out procedures for live electrical work. Authorised person sign-off, test-before-touch, and reinstatement sequence — all documented.
Welding, grinding, cutting, and torch work in occupied buildings. Fire watch, permit to work, surface cooling times, and extinguisher requirements built in.
Structural survey requirements, proximity to services, vibration monitoring, and exclusion zones for demolition and heavy groundworks operations.
Dynamic risk SSoW for door supervision, crowd management, and hostile vehicle mitigation. Checklists that hold up during SIA licensing reviews.
